Two new chronicles have been released with the launch of Kronos:
Yetamo , written by CCP Delegate Zero, tells the story of a Minmatar legend, a husband-and-wife engineering team, and why nanotechnology more dangerous stuff than just an 'apply goo, receive fixed item' magic spell.
The Station and the Bazaar, written by CCP Abraxas, is told from the perspective of a Thukker black market tradesman who has become enmeshed in the Guristas' most recent efforts.
Yetamo definitely seems to be hinting at something, although exactly what I am not sure. The ending now presents something entirely new on the loose, but I'm not seeing how it fits into the larger EVE story at this point - if spontaneous accidents like this were common, then they'd be... well, more common. The story seems to hint at something more, but exactly what eludes me. There's also a bit of PF in there regarding Minmatar tribal roles and immigration; despite this, the Chronicle felt a little short. I personally think it could have done to be stretched another few paragraphs to give a more fluid shift.
The Station and the Bazaar is by far the meatier of the Chronicles, tying together past things (Gecko) as well as more forseeable changes like the Guristas research complexes coming with Kronos and the Valkyries. Frankly, you can tell it's by a more experienced writer as well - D.Zero's writing, while having a style of its own, didn't seem to draw me in as well as Abraxas'; The Station and the Bazaar just seemed to flow far better. I got the feeling I was dealing with a living person rather than just reading 'this happened, then this, and then this.'
